  • Wooden Crane from the Time of Wenceslas IV Public Building of The
    Wooden Crane from the Time of Wenceslas IV Public Building of the Replica of the Medieval Crane Based on Illustrations from the Wenceslas IV Bible from 1390 – 1400 Prague Castle 2006 Wooden machines powered by human walk accompany our civilization since time immemorial. Their practical use has been depicted since the time of ancient Rome. Development of these machines is probably connected with development of new scientific disciplines – geometry and mechanics – in ancient Greece. Expansion of using cranes with wheels to walk in came up in the Middle Ages in connection with Gothic architectural style and development of trade. Cranes placed in the crowns of partially built cathedrals used to be dominant features of medieval towns for long decades. Therefore we can often find them in period illustrations in manuscripts, town plans and maps. Since the beginning of the 20th century wooden cranes powered by humans were used to transfer goods in ports and markets. The cage crane from the Wenceslas IV Bible is a unique illustration of a crane suspended on a frontage. The system of its construction proves exceptional technical development of the Prague royal workshop towards the close of the 14th century. For the first time in our modern history it is the aim of our project to make a replica of the cage crane, typical for the territory of Central Europe in the time of the reign of the last of the Luxembourgs. Several replicas of these ingenious machines have been built during recent decades in the world. However they are mainly replicas of newer cranes built by contemporary technologies and tools.

  • Crane, Oregon History
    Crane, Oregon History Crane, once a thriving little city with five restaurants, four hotels, two general merchandise stores, a dance hall, a newspaper, a bank and a movie theater was never rebuilt to its former glory after a series of devastating fires, the last in 1938. The town was at its peak during the time it served as the railhead for the Union Pacific Railroad. The railroad arrived in 1916 to much fanfare from Harney County citizens. The Burns Times Herald reported, “Chief Construction Engineer Young brought the first train in with two coaches and several flat cars filled with excursionists from Ontario, Vale, Juntura, Riverside and other points. As soon as he had disposed of the excursion people, he invited the Harney County people to ride with him, and the train was soon filled. It was necessary to make two trips to and from the scene of the big steam shovel in Crane Creek Gap, to accommodate all.” The railroad was destined for Burns to serve a new sawmill there, and in 1924, the line was completed into Burns. The businesses might have survived to serve the eastern half of the county had the town not be plagued by fires. With the arrival of the railroad, Crane became a thriving business center and permanent buildings started going up. One of the first stores sold groceries and dry goods, and was owned by a Mr. Lee. Later the Hotel Denman was moved in from nearby Harriman. A large store called the Vale Trading Company was established by Mr. Dunlop, of Vale and sold groceries, dry goods and machinery – its slogan was Everything for Everybody.” A high school was built on Crane Creek, and Alice Smith began teaching on October 28, 1901.

Fast commissioning by using standard applications and a high degree of flexibility through the appropriate adaptation possibilities. Simple – low engineering effort Fast – increase productivity The drive-based functionality for crane applications is Load-dependent field weakening for hoist applications is implemented in two software solutions: SIMOCRANE a functionality integrated in SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Drive-Based Technology and SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Technology. Compared to operating at full load, this Sway Control. solution automatically increases the maximal speed for lifting and lowering as a function of the current load. With Both technologies are integrated in the SINAMICS drive this functionality, a lift cycle with partial-load and no-load system and provide the function blocks needed to control is even faster, increasing the cranes’ productivity. the motions of crane drives. By using pre-configured standard applications for hoist, trolley or gantry, the With SIMOCRANE Drive-Based Sway Control, the load sway function blocks are easily integrated into the drive is damped during trolley or gantry traveling. Without the control, resulting in shorter engineering time and fewer load sway, a faster and easier traveling and positioning of commissioning costs. the load is possible.

  • Crane Technology and Accessories
    Crane Technology Truck, trailer and tracked cranes Extension lengths up to 55 metres and payloads of up to 12 tonnes Böcker crane technology offers you a reliable and adaptable solution whenever you need to safely and efficiently lift large and bulky loads to lofty heights. Besides having extension lengths of up to 55 metres and payloads of up to 12 tonnes, our truck cranes, trailer cranes and tracked cranes are characterised by extremely high safety standards, a comparatively low weight and compact dimensions. For example, it is easy to transport Böcker cranes from one site to the next and set them up without requiring a lot of space. 2 Outstanding crane technology The sky is the limit with Böcker innovations Shortly after founding the company in 1958, the master blacksmith Albert Böcker developed his first innovation, the hydraulic inclined lift. This was later followed by the inclined lift with an elbow section. From then on, it was possible for roofers to transport roof tiles comfortably right up to the apex of the roof. Since then, we have been working constantly to improve our products to match the needs of our customers and have repeatedly set new standards in quality and safety in the area of lifting technology. Pioneer in aluminium crane technology In 1989, Böcker entered crane technology as a pioneer, with the introduction of the first mobile truck crane in aluminium lightweight construction. The manoeuvrability of the space- saving Böcker aluminium cranes make the work in the construction industry a lot easier with their great out-reach. Following on from this, in 1997 we developed the first aluminium trailer crane.
